Airsonic 10.0.1 sharfile

This is a replacement for my old www/subsonic port since Subsonic became
proprietary software. Airsonic is now the community-supported fork.


-----

Airsonic is a free, web-based media streamer, providing ubiquitous access to
your music. Use it to share your music with friends, or to listen to your own
music while at work. You can stream to multiple players simultaneously, for
instance to one player in your kitchen and another in your living room.

Airsonic is designed to handle very large music collections (hundreds of
gigabytes). Although optimized for MP3 streaming, it works for any audio or
video format that can stream over HTTP, for instance AAC and OGG. By using
transcoder plug-ins, Airsonic supports on-the-fly conversion and streaming of
virtually any audio format, including WMA, FLAC, APE, Musepack, WavPack and
Shorten.

The original Subsonic is developed by Sindre Mehus. Subsonic was open source
through version 6.0-beta1, and closed-source from then onwards.

Libresonic was created and maintained by Eugene E. Kashpureff Jr. It originated
as an unofficial("Kang") of Subsonic which did not contain the Licensing code
checks present in the official builds. With the announcement of Subsonic's
closed-source future, a decision was made to make a full fork and rebrand to
Libresonic.

Around July 2017, it was discovered that Eugene had different intentions/goals
for the project than some contributors had. Although the developers were
hesitant to create a fork as it would fracture/confuse the community even
further, it was deemed necessary in order to preserve a community-focused fork.
To reiterate this more clearly:

Airsonic's goal is to provide a full-featured, stable, self-hosted media server
based on the Subsonic codebase that is free, open source, and community driven.
